This parish was the first parish in Ireland to be administered by priests of the Salesian Order. The land on which the church stands was purchased from the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary at Milford House. </p> <p>Before 1981, this area of Limerick city was part of the parish of Monaleen. The population of the parish is around 1,200 people, but several thousand students live in the parish during the college year.<br> </p> <p>You are currently looking at the Frameless version of this site.
